Joba made his fourth start this afternoon, lasting 5 2/3, with 100 pitches. He was good except for 3 walks. The 2nd Inning should put the doubt that hes a starter to rest. Bloop Single, Bloop GR double down the 3rd base line, Walk to Clark. No Outs bases loaded. Blows away Hairston. 1 Out. 1-2 count to Greene, he throws a ball Molina should stop and they throw Gonzalez out at the plate on the WP. Next pitch unhittable slider. No runs. He rang up one hitter on a curve. 3 on Fastballs and 5 on the slider. If it werent for the 2nd inning when they blooped him to death and made him throw a ton of pitches, he gets through 6 easy. He was in command the whole time out. His last fastball in 6th was 97 on the gun, so he maintains velocity through 100 pitches. If he can cut out 1 or 2 walks, hes lights out.
Stats as a starter (with credit to Peter Abraham):
